Spring remains elusive in our part of the country. It was 17 degrees this morning and barely above freezing yesterday. The river flowing past my studio wears a cloak of white. The only signs of spring are some of the migrant arrivals such as this fairly rare[for our area] White Faced Ibis' Osprey have returned and are fishing on the river. A grizzly was put down after causing havoc at the Bitterrrot Ranch N E of town and other grizzlies have made their presence known north of town. I have been watching about 40 head of elk just west of town and they are getting impatient with the slow progress of warmer weather. Just waiting for the snow to begin melting so they can begin their trek into the high country.

About Me

I am a Wyoming native born into a pioneer ranching family. My educational background is in art and biology which has served me well in the art work I love portraying.
My art reflects my love and interest in the Rocky Mountain west. Its landscapes and its wildlife. I am particularly interested in wild places and in my art I try to portray the light and texture and how those ingredients affect objects in their environment, and in creating a pleasing realistic design that can be incorporated into a painting. I am touched by the awesomeness and simple spirit of nature and consider my work successful when the viewer is equally touched and in turn catches a glimpse of that enduring spirit of wilderness and meaning within themselves.
I thank God for my life and give Him all the praise for all the blessings I have.
